Joe Rogan shares dragon "evidence" after Joy Behar jab

Joe Rogan has responded with a video of "evidence" after The View's Joy Behar accused him of believing that dragons once walked the earth.

The comedian and podcaster shared a video to X from YouTube entitled: "Evidence Dragons Were Real," uploaded by the Archive of Creation, a Christian group dedicated to "documenting intelligent design and special creation theory." He also changed his bio on X to "Dragon Believer" after Behar's jab.

The online spat began when Behar referenced Rogan on Thursday's episode of the popular panel show.

"I think that that's why people like our show, because they know that we are checked by ABC News," Behar said. "We went from Walter Cronkite, to this guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons."

She was referring to comments Rogan had made earlier this month saying: "You know what I'm really fascinated with, is things that existed, like only in myth, but that every culture has, like dragons."

"I had this guy, Forrest Galante, he's a wildlife biologist and he thinks that there's a real possibility that dragons were an actual thing and they lived alongside humans," he said on the November 12 episode of his The Joe Rogan Podcast.

He continued: "There's all these records and all these different cultures and you know, there's Chinese culture has dragons. Japanese culture has dragons. Ancient Europeans have dragons. Like dragon as a real, not a fire breathing thing, that seems to be bull****."

"Well they were probably like a crocodile that flies. There was probably like more a kind of really dangerous reptile that they called dragons. Like Komodo dragons," Rogan said.

The American Natural Museum of History says that naturalists and biologists across many cultures treated dragons "as part of the natural world."

"Chinese scholars have classified the dragon as one of the 369 animal species with scales. Long before the development of paleontology, people unearthed fossilized bones in Asia and Europe -- and believed they had found the remains of dragons from an earlier age," it read on the museum's website.

Regardless of whether dragons existed or not, plenty of people weighed into the debate, including former The Biggest Loser trainer, Jillian Michaels.

"I actually just watched this. Pretty good," she wrote on a repost of Rogan's video about dragons.

Rogan also shared the episode with Galante where they discuss dragons and above a clip of Behar calling him a "dragon believer" on The View wrote: "That's my new official X description."
